The Link Between Hostile Work Environment & Permanent Resident Status
26/02/2024 Duración: 03minIf you or someone you know is a non-citizen of the United States working in OPT F-1 status, as a J-1 au-pair, or is an asylum seeker who may be subject to a hostile or toxic work environment, please know you have rights. Labor laws and Trafficking laws not only protect non citizens, but in some cases reporting intolerable work conditions to the proper authorities may be a path to U.S. Permanent Resident Status. The United States takes a strong stand against Labor trafficking; and foreign nationals working in the United States may seek protection under the T visa laws. Our immigration lawyers have filed T visas along with Green card applications for many individuals subject to abuse by his or her employer.

The H1B Lottery Season
19/02/2024 Duración: 05minThe H-1B visa season is here again, and registration begins in less than a month! This is the most sought-after practical work visa for professionals holding 4-year bachelors’ or advanced degrees seeking work with a U.S. employer. U.S. employers seeking global talent to fill ‘specialty’ occupations in their company should begin working with an immigration lawyer early. The rules surrounding the H-1B visa process are complex, and most issues can be resolved early in the year before registration. Congress sets a yearly cap on H-1B visas. Only 65,000- 80,000 visas are issued each fiscal year. There are exceptions to the cap, which are not discussed in this podcast. Rather, this podcast discusses essential tips to successfully navigate the H-1B visa lottery selection process.

29/11/2020 Duración: 02minIs There ever a Time When Your Visa is Expired but yet your still in status? The answer is yes! I'll explain.
